(1) There's a fellow over at Challies' blog (jeffmikels) who said, "{centuri0n} posted some inaccurate information about the BGC, and though I'm not really a denominational kind of guy, I really took issue with what he said, but unless I signed up for a blog with blogger, I couldn't post a comment." To which I replied, "I'm not even sure what the "BGC" is, and I am certain I have never blogged on them. However, again, please e-mail me if you don't want to give Blogger a blood sample and I'm sure we can work out the rough spots."

Well, I actually did post indirectly about the BGC -- in my entry re: Piper & the FBFI. What I said there was

The second point underlined above is that Piper has never separated from the BGC in spite of its association with Open Theism. I would propose that the BGC cannot be reformed from its error unless men like John Piper stay in the body to refute errors and turn a brother away from sin. At the same time, I would also note that you cannot find open theism in Piper -- it is without any evidence. So to say, "well, he hasn't made his church find a new fellowship so he must be in cahoots with those Open Theists," is to make him guilty by association, not by example or evidence.

If the statement "The second point underlined above is that Piper has never separated from the BGC in spite of its association with Open Theism" offends, it is a reference to the FBFI position on the matter. I'll admit it was a glib summary of their position, and in that it does not scrutinize their position very closely -- nor does it scrutinize the truth claim thet the BGC embraces open theism.

The statement raised the hackles of jeffmickle, and to him and anyone else offended by the statement I apologize.

(2) I also apologize to my wife for blog-checking while on vacation. My body clock wakes me up no later than 6:45 AM and she and the kids will sleep, if unassailed, until 9 AM. Internet access was free at the hotel, and I capitalized.

Well, that's a shame: Blogrolling.com has ceased to be. If you're an old member of the blogroll, e-mail me and I'll see to relink you in this space.

DISCLAIMER!

Here's the part where I try to avoid getting sued ...

As you undoubtedly noticed, I like comics. I wouldn't call myself a "fan boy" because I don't give a flying FOOM what they are worth. That said, almost all the images on my blog are scanned from comics I own -- so they are scanned from comics I own and are used under what I assume is the basic tenets of "fair use" under copyright law. It would be frankly impossible to tell you where each images comes from specifically.

All other images not covered by this disclaimer are the property of their respective owners, and if you are one of those people and you see your image on my blog, tell me what you want me to do about it and I will. No sense making people angry.
